Certified POST Instructor National Public Safety Innovation Academy Burbank, California, United States
No one had really heard of Aurora, Colorado; Ferguson, Missouri; or Uvalde, Texas, until the unthinkable happened. Then, in a blink of an eye, all three cities were thrust into the international spotlight. It's not really “if” anymore but, “when.” Award-winning instructor Steve Gregory will walk attendees through some high-profile events and their press conferences. He'll detail what worked and what didn't. Steve's experience as an investigative journalist in Los Angeles will offer attendees a view into how reporters react and respond to press events, regardless of an agency's size. Steve has covered some of the biggest stories, including riots in Ferguson and Los Angeles, wildfires on Maui, the San Bernardino terrorist shooting, and conflicts along the U.S./Mexico border.
